Server 2003 Partition & Partition Magic

Mibble · 10-07-2007, 10:27 AM

Hello All,
I am trying to copy an SBS 2003 partition from one small drive/partition to another.
Scenario:
SBS2k3R2 Partition 1: 20Gb
SBS2K3R2 Partition 2: 57GB
Installed as drive #2 on an XP System, which sees the drives as they are ntfs and the xp system is ntfs.
Drive #3 is 400Gb drive with no partitions.
Drive 2 is out of space (partition 2 is exchange) an all this company has ben doing is bandaiding the rest of the network. None of the drives are very large and definitely not large enough to hold this. such a shame.
When I open partition magic, drive 2 (original sbs2k3 drive) shows as bad.
am i doing something wrong with this?
Thanks,
Mibble

PM doesn't work with server. I prefer ****** Partition Manager Server It has the similar functions with PM and it works well with my server. You can download it at http://www.download.com/******-Parti...dlPid=10872677 or

wooh, you are under-developed.

never search partition magic any more. it does not support 2003 server system.

here is one for you, ****** partition manager server edition. i think you need to learn how to use google. then you will find it.

The upstair is right, Partition Magic doesn't support the Windows Server 2003, it gives up the updating and doesn't release new version. As an alternative to it,

may get rid of your trick.

Partition Magic cannot support 2003 indeed and it has not been upgraded from such a long time, it seems that it will vanish from our sight. I also find that the partition logic of PM is different with others, so you will easily encounter the problem that after operated by PM, the disk/partitition info is incorrect by others.
To copy the partition/disk, you may use disk copy - a free sector by sector copy SW.
another choice, partition master, file by file copy, besides copy the partition, it can manage your partitions, very good.

I have abandoned partition magic, as it cannot support server 2003 and has not been upgraded for a long time. Now I use easeus partition master, which is very easy to use, can enlarge partition without reboot,you can even copy the dynamic disk and resize it.There is dynamic system repartition detail instruction,it is the same as you transfer the partition to another one and resize it : http://www.partition-tool.com/resour...tem-volume.htm
